90% of TV is shit. Mostly because there are too many stations vying for too few viewers.
In the UK when there was 4. One funded by license payers and te other three by ad sales. All had a decent amount to spend. Now with cable TV there are as many as 20 main ones trying to make a living out of the same number of viewers. Plus the Internet, Plus American channels.
So cheap programs like Gogglebox, reality, game shows replace quality drama and variety shows. Today the best variety shows are the one's where the acts are free.
